Auto Pilot
Today leaving the gym I noticed the parking attendant who took my ticket logged it in the computer and said, “You’re welcome, have a nice day” all before I had a chance to say a thing. He was on automatic pilot.
We can’t be consciously aware of everything in every moment. You can imagine how exhausting it would be if you paid close attention every time you brushed your teeth or tied your shoes. But I ask myself, is everything I do so important I have to rush it and miss connections with myself, let alone with other people?
Where in your life are you on auto pilot, what does it cost you, and what’s one thing you can do to change it?
